This is another very impressive performance by Apple.

Even though revenue is slightly down YOY on iPads, the unit sales are increasing, which suggests that prices are coming down to more affordable levels. The iPad is a unheralded product for the most part but over 11 million plus iPads were sold last quarter alone which suggests the penetration is increasing. I still have my original iPad from several years ago and it still works perfectly today, which tells me a lot of people out there are getting years and years out of this product.

$10 Billion in China with 19% YOY growth. I had no idea their Chinese business had grown that big.

Americas have 1 billion people with $25 Billion in sales. It’s surprising that China has hit 40% of the Americas market considering how many cheap knock-offs are available in Asia.
